PRIVATE RESCUES ARE DIFFERENT!

We are passionate about what we do and take considerable pride in the care and treatment given to dogs entrusted to us. A great deal of time, travel, personal funds and enormous effort is taken to restore broken bodies and spirits, and to find the best new home for each individual rescued animal. Dogs in our Rescue stay either in our own home, or with one of our foster families, depending on the individual dog's needs and preferences.  

How It Works

You can make a difference to a Wren Yorkie today!

Your donations make a difference for our Yorkie's as they find their forever home!


All donations, large or small, monthly, or single donations, make a huge impact on the lives and medical care for our Yorkies.

2. Application Review and Approval

2. Please read carefully, complete, and return all sections of the application. Allow us time to contact your listed references who know you as a pet guardian.


Share your completed form by EMAIL to WrenYorkieRescues@gmail.com & include your COMPLETE CONTACT INFO: Phone, address, City & Zip Code.


We will call to clarify our understanding of the responses and give you the opportunity to ask additional questions.

3. Meet the Pet + 4. Home Check

A visit to your home will be scheduled to meet you and anyone who will be involved in the dog's daily life at your location. We observe the dog's reactions to those people and your space as well as dog/human interaction and "chemistry". 

5. Sign Adoption Agreement

If all seems right, the full adoption fee will be collected and you will be given an Adoption Agreement & asked to initial each numbered section to indicate having read & understood. 


You must be able to meet the dog's medical, physical and emotional needs, and agree to return the dog to Wren Yorkie Rescue- NOT a shelter-if at any time your circumstances alter and you are no longer able to care for the dog.  We will come to collect the dog if you are unable to bring it yourself,  and we MUST be notified if the dog changes owners or residence. Call or text 510-610-0291 or email wrenyorkierescues@gmail.com

6. Pay Fee

Our adoption fee is $500/adult dog, $650/puppy (sometimes adjustable on an individual basis); payable in installments if necessary. Checks for the full amount must be given before a dog can be placed with you.


Wren Yorkie Rescue will take back the dog at any time during the next 30 days if it is discovered not to be the right match, and all but $25 of your adoption fee will be returned.  Wren Yorkie Rescue will also take back a dog after 30 days, but without a refund.
